This training manual synthesizes lessons learned from the federally funded, innovative Special Projects of National Significance Enhancing Linkages to HIV Primary Care & Services in Jail Settings Initiative, otherwise known as EnhanceLink. Approximately 85 percent of incarcerated persons in the United States pass solely through jails, yet most interventions focus exclusively on prisons. EnhanceLink thus fills an important research void.
